You seem fixated on this "mobster ethics," which is an oxymoron,
It's actually not a contradiction in terms.
There are a lot of different versions of "ethics", the OMERTA is simply one of thousands we can choose from.
There is no "one-size-fits-all" ethical framework.
Except for perhaps our human instincts,
PROTECT YOURSELF
PROTECT YOUR FAMILY
PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY
This has nothing to do with market regulations,
Thanks for clearing that up.

I'm just not sure how you expect that to happen without some sort of powerful referee.
...the citizens are allowed to be their own arbiters of justice...
I see, like in a "wild west" scenario? Everyone was armed and there were no criminals?
Thanks for indulging me on the wage law stuff, we seem to be in general agreement, at least prima facie.
